IR hotplate/stirrer delivers superior heating and mixing

The latest infrared heating technology has been used in the design of the WH280-NH hotplate-stirrer from Wiggens. Thanks to this radiation heating technology, the Wiggens WH280-NH can be used for rapid heating up of various shaped vessels, including round-bottom flasks, and the solution inside can be heated up to a maximum of 450°C in a very short time.

The new Wiggens hotplate stirrer enjoys the benefits of a Schott glass ceramic surface with exceptional chemical resistance, a high surface quality, and a resistance to temperature shocks of more than 700°C, providing users with an optimal solution compared to conventional heating surface materials. The poreless smooth surface enables even the most stubborn dirt to be easily cleaned. The high infrared permeability ensures that the heating energy is transferred quickly and with very limited loss, therefore, it heats liquids fast and saves time and energy. Preseting 3 sets of PID for different volume heating applications enables self-optimising to reach perfect temperature stability.. If the Pt-100 sensor is connected, temperature-controlled work with stability of +/- 2°C can be reached in most applications.

In addition to rapid heating capability and superior temperature control, the WH280-NH also offers well controlled gentle to intense mixing of liquids, and is also suitable for large volume viscous media.

The stirring and heating can be controlled separately by convenient turning knobs. All functions can be viewed and monitored on a bright touch screen, including most frequently used parameters, such as, working temperature, stirring speed, working time, and safety temperature. Memory function for stirring speed and temperature setting makes it convenient to start the experiments with fixed conditions. A residual-heat display protects the users from burning their hands.

With the aforementioned benefits, and many other features, the Wiggens hotplate stirrer is the optimal solution for heating and mixing of liquids in laboratories. Its capabilities extend to a wide range of applications, including the precise requirements of cannabis extraction.
